Mostly from
November last year hotels on the South Coast are empty, every thing
shut down and nobody out at night. Alfred Taylor, who committed
suicide lately was at the head of a conglomerate of hotel financers
and managers and because of the world economic crash he did not get
enough business and could not pay off his debts which is rumoured to
be $63 million. So much ridiculous greed in a small island
that whenever hard times arrive it is the equivalent of death.
Taylor felt obviously that it was too embarrassing, too humiliating
to go back to living a realistic life. What his father had
was stolen [see A.E. Taylor] and it ended a curse
through to the next generation. |
